Many of us have real trouble with grains and diary. These are also high in
carbs, causing insulin spikes, weight gain and eventual symptoms of type 2
diabetes. Grains are also linked to cancer. "Least saturated cooking oil" --
why? This oil would break down at low temperatures, causing toxic
peroxidation, and would be heavy in w6 fatty acids.

Where is your evidence of this? These citations are very selective. Most
citations here mention many other reference sources and studies other than
these. Omega fatty acids are essential to all life.

Yes, calorie reduction is the only consistently studied diet that is close
to being "proven" (at least in other animals) to lengthen life. I have read
Walford, I followed this diet for several years but found it very difficult
(impossible) to maintain.

A paleo diet is simply a diet as analogous as possible to that diet that we
are genetically designed to eat. Perhaps best is paleo calorie reduced, but
this is very hard
